Cylinder - Plain Foam
The FP07 Cylinder is a foundational positioning aid designed to provide stable, rounded support during complex radiographic examinations. Its cylindrical geometry makes it the ideal tool for elevating limbs, supporting the lumbar curve, or maintaining joint flexion, ensuring the patient remains comfortable and still throughout the imaging procedure.
Clinical Applications & Utility
Knee Flexion & Popliteal Support: Perfectly sized to fit behind the knee joint, the FP07 facilitates the ideal degree of flexion for specialised projections of the patella or intercondylar fossa (tunnel views).
Ankle & Lower Limb Elevation: Provides a stable, elevated platform for lower limb imaging, helping to clear the anatomy from the imaging table and reduce soft-tissue superimposition.
Lumbar Support: When placed under the knees during supine imaging, the FP07 helps to flatten the lumbar spine against the table, increasing patient comfort and improving image quality for AP spine views.
Technical Excellence & Hygiene
Precision Dimensions: Measuring 15cm in diameter by 30cm in length, this bolster provides a substantial support surface while remaining compact enough for use on narrow imaging trolleys or within restricted bucky spaces.
Radiolucent Core: The internal high-density foam is engineered to be fully radiolucent, ensuring that the bolster does not create distracting artefacts on the final radiograph.
